Fulgurite

<p>Named for the glassy mazelike structures that can form underground when lightning strikes sand <em>Fulgurite </em>weaves together reality and myth. Informed by fairy tales domestic fabulism and environmental concerns Catherine Kyle examines gender on large and small scales. Patriarchal influences in domestic spaces are compared to patriarchal influences on national and global levels and identity is made complex by the fusion of survival dissociation and promise. The collection bears witness to the grief of the everyday while simultaneously pursuing hope.</p>
